VS 10 Ep 8 As Luck Would Have It

[goldilocks]

Did we miss you? SIIIIII!!!!! It is nice to have you back!

I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for a new episode and you know it was worth all the waiting!!! You girls never stop amazing me, thank you so much for this! Of course I can’t not to mention my favourite moments/lines, so here we go:

#1 The Maddie/David/Ellie sleeping scene – this is endlessly cute and I swear I reread the sentence: “Maddie and David are blissfully sleeping with little Ellie between them” at least 10 times, having a sweet picture in my head...
#2 I love, love , LOVE each and every line regarding the “six week check up” issue. The banter is brilliant:
David: Ten thirty? Do you want me to drive you? Back seat might be a little uncomfortable, but it's been done before. I know a great back alley just behind the doctor's office.
Maddie: Where's the romance? Where's the passion? David: I got plenty of passion, Blondie. I got six weeks of passion banked. ;D
#3 David: I love you. Maddie: I love you too. --- this is so simple but I can’t get enough of this...I love to hear them saying this because I know they mean it.
#4 David: You are playing with fire, Mamma. David: Hot Mamma ... Hot sexy Mamma…. Naughty Mamma who needs to be put to bed without supper or breakfast ... ---this is SO David
#5 David: It's not like you are sitting at home in the cave eating bonbons while I'm out dragging down the zebra. ---- I can’t stop laughing when I read this line, this is hysterical! ;D ;D ;D
#6 The water shuts off and David steps out. {Insert personal image of wet David here} --- thank you for this – made my morning! I love to insert those images you know
#7 I loved Maddie singing while getting dressed. The girl is happy! She is SINGING! Yay!
#8 I loved the picture of Maddie and Ellie on David's desk. This is a tiny detail, but an amazing one.
#9 Maddie snakes her arm around David’s waist and kisses him lightly on the cheek, then again closer to his mouth and again right on the lips. David is resistant at first but easily succumbs to her attentions. ---- I love it when Miss Hayes begins to seduce Mr Addison, this is very beautifully written!
#10 Maddie: We'll miss you.
Miss Me barks.
Maddie: I'll miss you the most. This “I miss you” exchange makes my heart melt... Thank you for this.
#11 Maddie: Maybe we can slip into my office for a couple of minutes. David: A couple of minutes -- I'm crushed. I'm insulted. I'm hurt. Maddie: You're filthy and need a shower. David: Sounds like foreplay to me. Maddie: I like how you think. ---- this is Maddie and David at their best! This is amazing how they do it...that’s how we love them! Sigh

I love it to know that the Hayes/Addison family is happy and this is a big pleasure and great honour to have this opportunity to live this life with them. Thank you for letting us do this!

Bravo Lizzie and VM girls!

Well...I come late to the party and Goldie has taken every single one of my lines. ;-) I agree with every line that Goldie wrote! Word for word. She has taken the words right out of my mouth. :-) (and I didnt even feel a thing). This was such a wonderful episode! (Well anytime we get to insert a personal image of wet David would be a wonderful episode ;-))

This was fabulous Lizzie and VM gals! You all do such a wonderful job with this! As always thanks for all the time you put into VM...we all love that you do!!!

Great historical referances too! You must have really been wearing out Wikepedia! LOL!

And I think there should be a 10 year anniversary party for sure!!! I can think of a few ways to celebrate that!! LOL!

As always - cant wait for the next one gals!!!

Keep them coming!

Great reviews, ladies! I too enjoyed reading many David and Maddie’s lovely scenes, remembering their past was hard, I really like to see their ultra-happiness.

I’d like to add my favorites, I love the way she talks to her baby about her disappointment and going to see Dad, the scene is easily visible to me, tender and warms my heart.

And I really like David’s line: not lucky so much as fortunate and very appreciative- is that like luck or just maturity? I love the exchange between David and Jinx, years ago who would have thought that he would have that kind of mature conversation.

And especially I love how the story goes on revolving around the word “luck” in Jinx and Lucy’s lives and David and Maddie’s life. I felt many different kind of things in the story, from sadness, regret, bitterness, anger to hope, happiness, expectation and humor. And finally I see strength of human in the end. This is brilliant!

Thank you, Lizzie for such a great work as always!

Lizzie,

I am so sorry......I truly believed I had commented on this very wonderful story.

I love the Hayes Addison family and how you write them......all of the interactions are true blue and touching.

I love how D&M have a passion for each other that transcends the everyday minutiae that sometimes makes up everyone's life. You write them perfectly.....as well as the magic they weave when they are together.

The case was fun.....love the images of luck, and the idea that there are second chances out there waiting to be explored.

You have such a facility with words and images, and I love reading your work.

Thank you.
